Thanks for the updates, as soon as I get somewhere with a good signal I’ll check out all those pics!

If I could offer any advice it would be to add a couple more solar panels, you can never have too many!
Most commonly people run 2w per ah, so 200 watts of solar for 100 (useable) amp hours, or 1000 watts for 500ah, etc.
However since panels are cheap (currently less than a dollar per watt) I went ahead and installed as many as I could fit on the roof of our small trailer, and it makes a huge difference in how quickly we can charge up even on cloudy days here in the Pacific North West.
I ended up with basically 3w per ah.
1155 watts for 400ah.
